Not just for Liverpool but throughout his club career, Luis Suarez has managed to bounce back from every controversy through his performances on the pitch. He has been loved by his sides' fans, and has even won over some of his critics.

Marco Van Basten, his coach at Ajax, famously said that Suarez's unpredictability was what gave him his edge on the pitch. But the striker is unpredictable off the pitch too, by nature, throughout his career he has given his managers headaches while also bringing them unbelievable joy come 3pm on Saturdays.

Only a man who is up there with the best in the world can bounce back from controversy after controversy and still be admired by so many.

From playing football on the streets of Montevideo, Uruguay, to receiving a red card for head butting a referee at the age of 15 while playing for the Nacional youth side.

His rise to the top has been a series of peaks and troughs. His peaks come in the form of hat-tricks, nutmegs, wonder goals, and his troughs come in the form of lengthy bans, controversies and race rows.

He is undeniably at a peak of his powers for Liverpool right now, with his boss Brendan Rodgers saying that he is in the top three players in the world at the moment, up there with Ronaldo and Messi.

He wouldn't be the first "enemy" of the game to sort his temper out and become a legend, Eric Cantona was labelled a "thug" after his infamous flying kick, and there have been many more who have answered their critics with mesmerising on-pitch displays.

Is Suarez one of the best players in the world right now? On stats, figures, back-heels, flicks and volleys alone - surely yes. Is he as good an ambassador for the game as Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo?
